Disclaimer. I am sorry to admit that other than this rather deranged plot,
the demon muses that helped create this plot and any of the delusional
"thought up by me" characters that pop up in the duration of this fic, none
of this is mine. Basically. Sunrise owns all the cool stuff like the
characters and I am left with the shoddy malfunctioning stuff!
Warning- Yaoi, (or will be in the near distant future) Will most likely be riddled with oaths, curses, swearing and hell, Vampires! Don't like any of that then u can go and not feel guilty. But if u read anyway and then flame, I will snigger myself into a fit of hiccups and then show the flame to all and sunder, who will laugh with me!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Thank you-----
Tenshiamanda- Of course its 1x2, I love 1x2, here ya go!
Elle-FaTe2x1- Here is ure chance, is it any good?
Kaya and Kyra - well picked up on, I hope you enjoy this chappie, it's the beginning of the story.
Welcome, glad you could make it! This is chappie two and the beginning of the story. The last chappie was only the prologue. From here on in it gets interesting and I plan to introduce at least three of the characters in this chapter.
I am actually chuffed with the way the idea is coming along, all my little plot holes are coming along nicely And! I WORKED OUT THE PAIRINGS and how they r going to come about, but I ain´t telling yet!!!
Well, I reckon that is about enough of me, so enjoy the chappie and leave a review, I live for reviews! I need the comments or I get carried away, and that is too scary for even me sometimes!

FUCK their catching up Duo thought as he tore round another corner. Why had they had to go to *that* neighbourhood tonight, there were at least a hundred other places they could have gone, but no. They had to go to the one place the Akumai were watching, the stuck up Bastards.
Duo Maxwell was a Vampire, and a popular one at that, among his people that is. His appearance gained him many stares, some welcome, though many not. He had pale skin and striking violet eyes. He wore tight fitting black clothing, along with the rather unusual accessory of a large gold cross. Crosses of course could do nothing to vampires, but they were still rarely worn. Sunlight (contrary to popular belief) was also no threat to Vampires, their great, great, great grandparents may have suffered extreme pain when exposed to it, that was millennia's ago, and the light was no longer a threat to them.
He had dark chestnut coloured hair that was shot with a light gold that glistened when the light hit it. He wore his hair tied back into a braid.
The long braid that normally fell down past the small of his back was at the moment streaming out behind him as he fled. The long bangs that usually flopped across his face were now flying wildly around in the wind.
Duo could hear someone behind him, he wasn't worried, in fact he felt reassured.
Thank God he has kept up so far, he wont be able to carry on for long though!
Duo knew that the footsteps behind him were those of Quatre. The Young blonde was probably his best friend. Since Solo that is, but Solo was dead.
Quatre was young by vampire standards, a mere fifty or so years to Duos hundreds but both of them still looked about sixteen. Quatre had bright blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. Unlike Duo he had not been born a vampire, he had been forced to suffer the transformation, and it was partly destroying him.
Quatre had been a human, and an Empath. He still held that talent. But when a human is forced to transform they lose part of their being, part of their soul and the pain very slowly destroys them, he had seen it happen so many times. That was why Duo was so worried about Quatre, he was such a gentle soul and Duo did not want him to lose that, but the more he was forced to do, the quicker and the more painful it would get.
Duo felt guilty for Quatres transformation, it had been some of his friends who had forced the gentle blonde into the painful transformation. He and Solo had tried to help, he had been restrained and Solo continued to fight. That was how Solo had died.
"Aaagrh!" Duo heard the young blonde cry out; he turned and saw him sprawled on the ground, tears rolling down his pale cheeks.
"Duo!" he gasped, "I can't move, it hurts so much!"
Duo looked worriedly around him and then legged it back to his friend. "Lay still Quat, here, take my hand."
Quatre took the offered hand in a death grip that Duo swore would have broken his bones had it been any harder, Quatre was in a lot of pain.
"Duo," Quatre gasped again, "They are getting closer, you have to go, just leave me I am nothing but trouble!"
Duo growled
Not likely Quat, I have lost too many people, I wont lose you too!
"No Quat," I wont leave you." Duo said as he leant down and picked up the weak body of his friend, "We'll find somewhere safe for you."
Duo set off as quickly as he could, not much more than a walk for he didn't want to jar Quatre. Oh God oh God, where am I going to take him, its late and there is no one around, please let me find somewhere!
Duo turned down alley after alley, but no matter how many turns he made the Akumai were always just behind them, he needed to move faster but with Quatre in his current state this was impossible.
Duo hurried on past an opening and then doubled back. He could've sworn he saw something move. Yes, there it was again.
Oh please be friendly.
Duo hurried down the ally way towards the figure. It was a man he noted, as he got closer, tall, much taller than he or Quatre, and he was a mortal,
Thank heavens; now I hope he will take Quat, he will be safe here.
The tall man, no youth, (Duo noted that the human could not be any older than 17,) spun round when he heard the footsteps.
Duo stopped just in front of him and held Quatre forward for the youth to see. "Help me please, He is ill, very ill, he will die and so will I if I am caught, please take him in!"
The tall youth looked up at Duo and nodded once; Duo took this as a yes and placed Quatre in the mortals arms, "I'll be back buddy he whispered and the sprinted off down the ally.
Trowa looked at the person in his arms, he looked young, but as far as vampires went looks were most definitely deceiving. This one could be thousands of years old!
He had never known his family, he had been alone as long as he could remember and had never wanted company. But now, it was weird; he wanted to keep this person safe, protect him from whatever was making him sick. Carefully the tall youth turned and carried the unconscious blonde vampire into his house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo had been running for hours, he had never known the Akumai to be this persistent, saying that there had never been the threat of war and the threat of a Denarin revolt all at the same time. The war was the talk of .. Well .. Everywhere. The Lord of the Demons, Treize Kushrenada, was massing a huge army near the border of the Vampire kingdom. And within the kingdom, well, things were as uneasy has they had been for the past few millennia, hovering on the brink of Civil war.
Duo realised a second or so too late that he was cornered, in his haste he had taken a wrong turn and had ended up in a dead end street, and blocking the only way out were three Akumai, each one armed to the teeth.
Duo swore, he assumed a defensive stance, knowing full well he was done for. Still. He wouldn't give them and easy ride. He would go down fighting.
The three Akumai approached the cornered Denarin. The first one raised his sword and made to swipe the unarmed vampires head clean off, but Duo was able to dodge the attack, then the other two joined in the fray, all swiping at the Denarin and all missing. The fight became more and more violent, Duo took a few minor hits to his torso and managed to remove the helmets off two of the Akumai and one of these two also lost an eye.
Duo, was tired, he knew he would falter soon, but he was determined to take something with him.
Duo dodged back out of the fight and placed one of his feet securely against the back wall of a house. As the Akumai advanced on him he pushed himself of the ground and used the foot he had positioned against the wall to flip himself over. He soared over the three armoured warriors, when he was directly above them he reached down and wrapped his hands securely around one of their necks. He completed his 360º flip and landed steadily on his feet letting the limp form of the Akumai, whose neck he had just broken fall to the floor. [1]
The to remaining Akumai rushed at Duo, he had been expecting this, what he had not been expecting however, was the strong pair of arms that pinned his own behind his back. SMACK. A fist landed hard against his left cheek.
Punch after punch was landed, all over Duos torso, limbs and face.
Still, at least they aren't using their swords!
But his mind had spoken too soon, just as the thought was finished the largest of the Akumai raised his sword above Duos head and prepared to swing it down.
Duo clenched his eyes shut and focussed all his thoughts on Quatre, Quatre would live, he would find the one to save him, he would be safe.
"STOP!"
Duo didn't open his eyes, not willing to believe that the sword had stopped.
Slowly Duo opened his violet eyes to find himself looking into a pair of deep blue eyes, they were cold and unfeeling, but they were still the most beautiful things Duo had ever seen. When Duo finally pulled his gaze away from those eyes he glared the darkest glare he could muster. He recognised that face, Heero Yuy, The future Prince of The Akumai, destined to marry King Milliardo's daughter, Relena.
The eyes above him hardened even more at the glare their owner was receiving. Heero was about to order one of the Akumai worriers to finish this insolent Denarin when he found he couldn't. Eh simply stood and motioned for all the other Akumai to follow him. One of the mad to pick up the Denarin but Heero simply shot him a glare and he thought better of it.
Duo sat up, his vision was slightly blurry, but he could still se the shapes of the Akumai as they left the alley and stood in the square that it lead off from. For the first time Duo saw the Akumais' wings, they were beautiful, feathered and all varying shades of grey. But it was the wings of the future Prince Heero that caught his eye, they were feathered like all the others, but rather than grey they were pure white.
Duo watched as the Akumai took of and felt a strange emptiness invade his heart.
But there was no time to dwell on that now; he had to get back to Quatre. Yes, he would go to Quatre. Just as soon as he had a few minutes rest, he wouldn't sleep, no, not sleep. Just rest .. His .. Eyes ..
And with that Duo Maxwell fell into a deep sleep that was frequently invaded by visions of a winged prince.

[1]- I have no idea if this would work but for my sake lets say it would!!!
Lora- There I did it, its soooooo late and I am gonna fall asleep if I do much more.

The next chapter will be along as soon as I am awake enough to write it, it will focus on Heero, and then chappie three will focus on Quatre and Trowa, I think u may have sussed a pairing or two by now.
Well, I will see u all soon hopefully
Please leave a review, I really do love them!
